Seeing Wang Donghua at this time, Shen Yiwen was delighted at first, but then he was shocked.
More than a day ago, when Wang Donghua's arm was found in the vicinity of the Ghost Weeping Forest, Liu Xian organized everyone to have a discussion. At that time, most of them speculated that Wang Donghua might have encountered an accident. He was the genius cultivator with the best life-saving ability in the team. The golden nucleus puppet could almost guarantee him to escape from any unfavorable situation. So, conversely, if the golden nucleus puppet was not effective...
Before the search and rescue began, everyone was already mentally prepared that they would likely only find the body of their Junior Brother Donghua. Moreover, even if they found him alive, they would have to face a powerful opponent with unknown strength. Whether they could save him from the hands of the other party was completely unknown.
Therefore, they were particularly eager for the arrival of their Big Brother … Right now, their search and tracking work was nothing more than continuing the clues. They didn't expect to find Junior Brother Donghua, but now … Wang Donghua was clearly standing in front of them.
Was this really Junior Brother Donghua? For a moment, Shen Yiwen became vigilant.
However, the next moment, the vigilance in his heart relaxed by eighty percent because he once again heard the familiar tone of Wang Donghua.
"Oh, I finally see my relative."
His voice and tone were exactly the same as the familiar Junior Brother Wang Donghua! Shen Yiwen was pleasantly surprised and quickly asked, "Are you okay!?"
Wang Donghua shrugged his shoulders and said with a bitter face, "Senior Brother, do you think I look okay? My right hand is gone! One wife and one concubine, only one concubine is left, do you think I will be okay? "
Shen Yiwen simply didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. "You slut, even after experiencing this kind of thing, you still can't change your bad habit … By the way, who did this to you? How did you escape? "
Upon hearing this, Wang Donghua's complexion slightly changed. "You mean … the person who did this to me?"
"Yes, where is he? How is his strength? Em, to be able to escape without anyone noticing, his strength should not be too strong, right? In short, you can rest assured that Big Brother and the others will come back soon. At that time, they will definitely avenge you. "
"Big Brother is coming?!" Wang Donghua revealed a pleasantly surprised look. "That's great! In that case, I have nothing to worry about … "
As he spoke, his body went limp and was about to fall. Shen Yiwen hurriedly went forward to support him. However, just as the two of them were about to touch, Shen Yiwen's intuition warned him again, warning him that there was great danger ahead.
"Danger? What danger? Could it be … "
Unfortunately, before he could react, an ice-cold sensation pierced through him and quickly spread to every corner of his body.
Shen Yiwen incredulously looked at his Junior Brother Wang Donghua in front of him, looking at his cold smile, as well as the even colder dagger on his chest.
"Junior Brother Donghua, you... you are not Junior Brother Donghua!?"
Shen Yiwen finally realized what he had encountered. He quickly turned his head, wanting to warn the people behind him — the dagger in his chest had pierced through his Jade Mansion, so he could no longer use his sound transmission spell.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt the strength in his body disappear at an alarming rate. His entire body seemed to be melting, and he couldn't even speak a single word. A moment later, his consciousness completely sank into darkness.

"Strange, where is Junior Brother Yiwen?"
The first person to arrive was Xie Mingxian, the tracker in the team, second only to Shen Yiwen. He had been following behind Shen Yiwen the whole way and secretly protected him with spells. Once there was an external force that interfered with Shen Yiwen's tracking, he would immediately counterattack … Therefore, it could be said that Xie Mingxian was the one who followed Shen Yiwen's whereabouts the most closely.
However, at this time, he was surprised to find that in just a blink of an eye, Shen Yiwen had disappeared! Although this Ghost Weeping Forest was strange everywhere, it shouldn't make a Xudan Stage cultivator disappear just like that, right?
Xie Mingxian, who was full of confusion, was about to go deeper into the forest to explore when he heard Liu Xian's stern voice behind him, "Don't go!"
"But, Junior Brother Shen, he just …" Xie Mingxian said as he continued to walk forward.
Boom!
The next moment, a sharp metallic sword qi fell in front of him and exploded into dust. The aftermath of the sword qi was also very painful.
Xie Mingxian was taken aback. "Senior Brother, you are …"
"I am saving you. Do you want to be like Junior Brother Yiwen, disappearing inexplicably?" Liu Xian said and then shook his head with great resentment. "It's my fault, I shouldn't have let him chase me so closely … I only thought that Big Brother would arrive soon, and when he comes, all the problems can be solved, but I forgot that Big Brother repeatedly told me that the closer I am to success, the more I can't relax my vigilance."
Hearing this, Xie Mingxian's heart sank more and more. "Senior Brother, you mean, Junior Brother Shen Yiwen, he has …"
"Yes, and this time, it's right in front of us." Liu Xian said. His eyes were already bloodshot, as if they were on fire.
"This … How could it be? My spell has always been by Junior Brother Yiwen's side. If something really happened to him, I …"
In the end, Xie Mingxian could no longer go on. There were no fools in the golden generation who deceived themselves. The truth of the matter was actually simple and clear. His spell did not work, and Shen Yiwen was … taken away under his eyes.
Ah, the so-called 'taken away' was just wishful thinking. Just like Junior Brother Wang Donghua, he could only pray that they were still alive, still living as hostages under the control of the unknown enemy.
"If I catch him … I, your father, will definitely tear him into pieces!" Xie Mingxian clenched his teeth, and blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth. His relationship with Shen Yiwen was usually the best. The two of them had similar cultivation methods and could cooperate with each other. When they were cultivating on the mountain, they were inseparable, as close as brothers. But today, right in front of his eyes …
Liu Xian was also indignant, but as the leader, he must control his feelings.
"Mingxian, come back. Let's wait for Big Brother to arrive. Believe in Big Brother, he will certainly … will certainly avenge the two Junior Brothers. "

Ouyang Shang arrived at the Ghost Weeping Forest a day later.
There were not many people accompanying him, only two people, Wang Wu and Wang Lu. For this kind of high-risk job, there was no need to bring too many people. Even the arrival of Wang Wu had caused a lot of criticism.
"Big Brother, it's not that I don't believe in your judgment, but … in this situation, isn't it too risky to let Junior Sister Wang Wu participate? Previously, after experiencing Junior Brother Shen Yiwen's accident, I really don't have the confidence to protect her. "
Regarding Liu Xian's doubt, Ouyang Shang only said, "It doesn't matter, Junior Sister Wang Wu will take care of herself. Moreover, she has the strongest bodyguard by her side, so there's no need to worry about her."
While speaking, Wang Lu smiled and waved to Liu Xian and the others. "Hello, everyone, I am the strongest bodyguard."
Regarding Wang Lu's life experience, Ouyang Shang still used the old saying: he was the product of the old sect leader's enjoyment of life.
Considering that Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang's performance in too many aspects was extremely consistent, Liu Xian and the others accepted the reality after a short period of surprise. What's more, Wang Lu's life experience was not important, what was important was his strength.
The next step was how to carry out the next step under the leadership of Ouyang Shang.
Xie Mingxian, who was eager for revenge, suggested that Big Brother immediately lead the team to go deep into the Ghost Weeping Forest. But Ouyang Shang had other ideas.
"The other party indicated that I should come, and now I'm here. It won't be long before the other party takes the initiative to take the next step … We might as well wait and see. Of course, during this time, we have to strengthen our vigilance, and must not leave any opportunities for the other party. "
Then he began to explain some things to pay attention to. When Ouyang Shang was thinking seriously, his thinking was far more meticulous than ordinary people. After arranging the instructions, Xie Mingxian, Liu Xian and the others gradually felt a trace of relief and confidence.
And Wang Lu began to ask the others about the details of the incident that day.
"The so-called disappearing in the blink of an eye is obviously impossible. At that time, so many of you followed behind, even if one or two people turned their eyes away, not everyone turned their eyes away. Moreover, no matter how you look back afterward, you can't find any clues. The other party most likely used a concealment illusion. Have you investigated the scene according to this point? "
Xie Mingxian said, "Of course I have, but there are no traces of illusion left."
"Is that so? That's probably because your investigation method is wrong. I'll go there myself later. "
Xie Mingxian's brows immediately wrinkled. At that time, the person in charge of the scene investigation was him, and at the same time, as the only cultivator in the team who was good at tracking and anti-tracking, the investigation was also his. And Xie Mingxian had full confidence in the conclusion of his investigation.
If it was Big Brother Ouyang Shang questioning him, perhaps he would accept it humbly, but this inexplicable Wang Lu, who was he?!
As a result, less than an hour later, Xie Mingxian blushed with shame as he looked at the blood mist in Wang Lu's hand.
That was Shen Yiwen's spirit pet fog demon … It lingered in the place where its master disappeared. It was just that, when Xie Mingxian led the team to investigate the scene for a long time, they didn't find the existence of the fog demon at all!
Of course, this was not because the fog demon had any innate magical ability to hide its trace, but because the illusion effect of the manipulator behind the scenes had always been there. Xie Mingxian was basically exploring the illusion in the illusion, so naturally, he couldn't find any result.
When it was Wang Lu's turn, he only used a grotesquely shaped red jade to illuminate the forest and spat out a strange syllable. Then, the fog monster appeared in front of everyone, and the air was filled with the stench of corpses and blood.
It turned out that the illusion in the forest was finally broken! Everything that was previously concealed was also exposed.
"This is the unique illusion of the demon race. With the current level of Nine Regions, it can't be directly broken."
Xie Mingxian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then how did you do it?"
"Of course, there's an expert."
As Wang Lu said that, he couldn't help but think of the various incredible methods that Elder Lu Li personally taught him on Spirit Sword Mountain not long ago … Among them was the method to break this illusion. Of course, the method taught by Elder Lu Li was very cumbersome, but now that he had the demon jade, he could take a shortcut.
However, if Lu Li didn't point out the principle of illusion, even if he had the demon jade, he might not be able to find the right method.
"Next, let's listen to what the fog demon said."
As a survivor who stayed in the same place, the fog demon was likely to witness the whole process of Shen Yiwen's mysterious disappearance, which was an important clue. However, the fog demon lacked intelligence and had always been difficult to communicate with. As a spirit pet, it was more used as a tool. Even if it witnessed the whole process and memorized it mechanically, how to extract this memory was still a problem.
"What's the problem? Haven't you golden generation even been taught the soul-searching technique? "
As Wang Lu said that, his palm bloomed with green light, and a soul-searching technique was unceremoniously hit on the fog demon.
The bloody fog burst out with an unprecedented scream, and for a moment, many people's faces suddenly changed.
"What the hell are you doing!?"
"That's the precious relic of Junior Brother Shen Yiwen! He loved this fog demon the most when he was alive, and you actually … "
Wang Lu lightly said, "Now that he's dead, do you still care what he liked when he was alive? Are you guys out of your mind? This is the most direct clue to avenge Shen Yiwen! Isn't it good to let this spirit pet die a worthy death? "
With that, he ignored the other people's eyes and directly used the soul-searching technique on a disc that was prepared by Ouyang Shang in advance.
